Punctuality.
Household Words.

Household Words.
One of the many forms of evil is
want of punctuality, the root of all
evil. The unpunctual man is apt to
think that the greatest evil he oc-
casions by his special infrmity is
temporary inconvenience or disap-
pointment. But this is not so. If
one of his delays should disturb only
the arrangements for one day of a
single person, he may congratulate
himself. Order is Heavens first law,
and the second, regular routine, is
like unto it. If the earth and the
moon W ere to loiter in their course
everything here would be out of joint.
What bitter disappointment and
what serious annoyance and loss may
come from letter a little too late for
the post, bill paid after the promis-
ed time, an appointment not kept, a
commission deferred! Note for your
self, and think of these things.
Punctuality is essential to another
virtue, reliableness. Do all that you
promise to do, and all that you are
rightfully required and expected to
do, so that the hearts of all with
whom you are in any way connected
may safely trust in you. Do this
when you say you will do it, even il
it be little thing, without being de-
tered by any but insuperable
obstacles.

Rats.

1t is little over a century ago-1775
that the first brown rat (the ordin-
airy house rat) made his appearance
in America. He came as a stowa-
way on shipboard, either from
India or Persia, or possibly from some
Mediterranean port. Rats were I'M
known in Europe until the middle
of the eighteenth century. In every
town, village and hamlet in the
United States, now, the rat is almost
as we'll known as the deg or the cat,
and the rodent population must be far
larger than either of the others. So
rapid is the increase of the species
that single pair, if unmolested for a
year, will have offsprings of hundreds
in that time. In dwellings and city
sewers the house rat is the ruler, and
his black brother is driven to the
wall. In the fields and along the
marshes bordering the sea coast, the
musk rat and the cotton rat hold sway
Rats of many species are now to be
found wherever human habitation
exists. 1t is easier to render a build
ing fire-proof than rat proof.

Protection Against Rabbits.

American Agriculturist.
The remedy is, simply to take bur-
lap grain-sacks, cut them into strips
from one to two inches wide, and
wind the body ofthe young tree from
the ground up to the limbs, and fast
ening at the top with strings I'M
ravelled from the same material. AS
the tree grows the wrapping will ex-
pand. When the tree has attained
the age of four or five years the wrap
may be removed, and you will find
the prettiest tree trunk you ever saw ;
smooth, and free from cracks and
scalds, nor will you be bothered with
suckers or sprouts. Rabbits are not
fond of gunny sacks, but apple trees
are. Experience has also taught that
to feed the rabbits in young orchards
and nurseries when snow is on
the ground is a good plan. They
will not nibble trees if they can find
enough to eat besides. Cabbage that
is unsaleable, squashes of the sweet
Hubbard variety, sweet-potato vines,
or anything of a succulent nature,
they will take to readily.
